	Yeah, I've noticed this quirk and another one I'll describe in a
minute..  For some reason I never connected the fact that it kept 
selecting and deselecting the icons because of the multiple switches, but
it's obvious once you say so! [duhh!]

	Another one I've noticed is that if you eject a disk manually (and
keep it's icon there.. I don't think the disk has to be actually opened..
i.e. a window for the disk's contents), then go around doing other file 
manipulation and such, it will ASK for that greyed out disk that has
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the disk/file copying you're currently
doing.. And no, I don't mean it'll ask for a system disk for tools or
info or something.. it'll ask for any ol' disk in situations where it
seems like it shouldn't care diddley about that disk. As I've implied, I don't
have an exact set of instructions for making this happen, but it happens a
fair amount.
